I have always grown up taking care of cats and dogs. Recently my husband and I adopted a German Shepard who ended up having seizures. We did did everything to help him including building a fence in the backyard for him to run and play. We live in a bi-level home with an open concept. We just recently had a daughter and want her to be comfortable with animals if all sizes and breeds. We also love in a development where we would be able to have the dog take walks. We recently joined a few dog parks that we could also take the dog for visits. We believe that a pet is an added bonus to a household and wish everybody had a pet to share their lives with!
